Conor Maynard: Boldly Stepping into a New Era of Creativity

Conor Maynard, the British pop sensation, has traversed an incredible journey since clinching MTV’s “Brand New for 2012” accolade. With a massive following of over 13 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, an astonishing 2 billion Spotify streams, and noteworthy collaborations alongside Pharrell Williams, The Invisible Men, and Rita Ora, Maynard has firmly established himself as a formidable presence within the music industry. However, his latest release, “By Your Side,” marks a significant turning point in his career.

In his decision to leave his label, Maynard has embraced a sense of artistic liberation, leading him to experiment with new sounds and styles. Inspired by a difficult breakup, Maynard’s new material is profoundly personal and marks a new direction for his artistry. “By Your Side,” with hints of The 1975 and The Weeknd, showcases Maynard’s new sonic direction, a far cry from his previous work.

As Maynard continues to release material throughout 2023, it is clear that he is boldly stepping into a new era of creativity, proving that sometimes, going at it alone can lead to greater artistic heights.
